DS1500 installation and configuration is easy and simple thanks to compact size and to the new test operating mode with bar-graph. Test mode is activated by means of a pushbutton on the scanner (external PC not required) and the led bargraph shows the real time read percentage. This feature increases the scanner ease of installation and re-positioning during product changeovers in automated machinery.

DS1500 operates at a speed up to 1200scan/s, extending the application range also to high speed document handling, paper inserting, label rewinding and packaging machines. Additionally, the scanner motor can be switched ON and OFF via SW command. This feature is useful in very low throughput application or when the machine sits idle for long periods. A simple software command allows a prompt restoration of full operation when needed.
